Black-capped Chickadee

This tiny, plump-bodied, big-headed bird is a familiar woodland resident and backyard visitor in the northern U.S. and Canada. Gray overall with light buffy flanks and a contrasting head pattern: black cap, white cheek, and black throat. Short, stubby bill is used for hammering open seeds. Often the core of mixed flocks of songbirds. Visits feeders. Nearly identical to Carolina Chickadee, but range barely overlaps. Especially note voice, brighter white on wings, and buffier flanks on Black-capped. Beware that hybrids occur frequently in the overlap zone and some are best left unidentified.

I recall
In the night
By the water
I climbed a big tree
And nested
On smooth
Solid branches
And the night
Breathed
Back
And forth
Through
The leaves
And rocked
The tree
And I sailed through the night
On that gently nodding ancient
